Poem: Struggling forward (frodo's pov)
This is an odd poem that popped into my head right after seeing ROTK (don't
worry, it doesn't contain any spoilers) it's not all that good, but please
reply so I know what was good . . . or not . . .
The sun has faded to the west
I wish to return to my nest
But dark have been the days of late
And after all I think I'll have to wait
To return home when time has gone
And my journeys finally are done
I wish to rest, I wish to cry
But knowing all the time that I must try
For the good of the world I must go on
For everyone else I must remain strong
For all the hobbits far back at home
Who rest peacefully, my perils unknown
For every man I've never met
For those whose lives have just begun yet
To honor momories of those who've passed
Who fought for me to the very last
For those who succumbed to the Ring
Who became victims of this cursed thing
For Merry, for Pippin, who, I pray
Are off safe somewhere far away
For Strider, Gimli, Legolas
Who fought for me to very last
For Boromir, who protected me
For much time before he failed to see
I watch as Sam struggles ahead
Though his weary limbs must feel like lead
Oh Sam, I do this most for you
Because I know you'll see me through
Because you stood by me when I was weak
From Moria depths to Caradhras's peak
So though I wish to just give in
To give up the struggle I know I can't win
I keep on walking, since you do
If you can, I can see this through
